A brief description of the plan of action to achieve waste reduction goals:
Babson has started a process to identify and solidigy waste reduction goals. This process has included representation from various sectors of the community including food service, facilities, purchasing, finance, project management, special events and others. We are working to establish a goal of 25% waste redcution by 2025 but this still needs approval from adminstation. Our action plan to acheive this goal includes adressing food waste, packaging of purchased products, printing, event signage and other items. We plan to increase awareness of these issues thru events like the Zero Waste Challenge, Student Waste Audits and our Sustainability Fair. We also look to invest in new technologies to adress food waste.
